9 down twice Smith has taken a single off the first ball
Maybe wants a red ink

poms won't be able to cope on this pitch when they have to bat

Hope not, for us to win it needs to be over sooner than later.

He plays it like Tugger.

Richardson looks more comfortable than Smith out there.

 

[Buttface]

Maybe we should declare before the pitch flattens out.

Well, one way or the other, this match is ending today. I’m sure that will go down well, being the biggest match on the calendar. Especially if the Aussie’s lose.

Morning session 6 -94
Since lunch 4 -34
2nd half day 2 England need just 175
Thought Smith a bit selfish exposing Jhye to most balls
But he got his red ink !

 

[Stevec]

Starc has come to the party thru 3 and a half tests but how long can we depend on him?

england need to stand up and deliver finally
try and attack hard early

Smith batted like that a couple of summers ago v West indies and botched the run chase. He’s not a very tactical thinker when batting.

Don’t you love how commentators have to polish a turd. Mark Howard called this an “extraordinary Test match”. Extraordinary being code for shit no doubt.

Well this test is beyond what is ordinary

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

they are going out bazzball style swing at everything
plus I didn't back them this test
go lads play for pride

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Ducket is pissed

 

[Buttface]

Tim Lane is a wanker.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Aggression is probably the best way to go on a pitch like this. No point hanging around.

 

[Tucker]

Australia deserve to lose this. The way they have batted has been embarrassing and they clearly couldn’t care less. Massive crowds have paid to attend this game and have been incredibly let down
Hopefully a humiliating loss through Bazball will ground them somewhat and remove a few of their heads from their backsides.

Tim Lane is a wanker.

As big as James Brayshaw and Mark Howard? Two guys screaming at the top of their lungs? Richie would be turning in his grave seeing what Test commentary has become.

Panicked review. Starc was waiting at the top of his mark before the decision was even made.

Yep.

Starc Is bowling absolute crap.
Put it on the stumps!!!
